I just looked up Memphis to see what fate might await me. It didn't seem so bad, but maybe I would end up in a workshop.

Re: The game of Hamurabi with a new coat
I didn't do too badly on my first performance review. Gee, I am even a threat to the Pharoah.
Guess I better not do as well next time, or I could be hauling rocks up pyramids!

Re: The game of Hamurabi with a new coat
Another great improvement.
I will somehow find time today to play it.
Hamurabi's performance review reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Mr. Peterman reviews Elaine's covering off for him during his year off: "Thank you, Elaine for a job ... done."

Re: The game of Hamurabi with a new coat
In a recent game of Hamurabi with a new coat, I noticed too late that instead of entering 800 bushels to feed 400 people for a year, I entered 80! It was a silly mistake that in "real life" would have caused riots, revolution and impeachment. I think I deserved that. Instead, when I pressed Next Rou...

Re: Create a page
You can do a lot with sprites. Meanwhile, here is a crawling bit of text that shows how you can show credits, etc. Some things to note: The moving center page is defined first, then the top and bottom pages. So they cover the moving page, but because their alpha is less than 1, it shows through a li...

Re: Create a page
I just re-read that post, matt7. I think your sprite ordering information is very valuable, and hope Dutchman will add it to the Smart Basic PDF Manual.

Re: The game of Hamurabi with a new coat
Very nice! The game is much easier to play with the on-screen keyboard. So far I have not been impeached!

Re: Create a page
Sprites can also be children of a page, and can contain anything you want to put into them: lines, text, boxes, circles, even images.

Re: Detect Touch in TEXT Mode
One further improvement to my code in this topic. I was mistaken that the first page created on a text screen had to be the full size of the screen. It was just a misunderstanding about where and how the command PAGE N$ FRAME X,Y, W,H can be used. It can't create a page of a certain shape. But if th...
